If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term. uh, I'm pretty sure that's a factor to how America got to the way it is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Psiczar@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago (1 child) To be clear, Australia is not perfect by a long stretch, but our politicians are much more discrete in their desire for enrichment, we also have a lot more guard rails in place to prevent it, while they are in office. While there is obviously big business trying to influence government decisions, that will always happen regardless of who we vote in. My point is, if the person you vote for isn’t clearly concerned with improving the lives of their constituents you should absolutely fuck them off and not continually vote for them for decades. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dickalan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago I’ve seen sky news clips from Australia, y’all are on your way soon enough to look like America, unfortunately permalink fedilink source parent
